~ Loving to Train and Race

Week 7/Day 5 for Boston(Mesocycle 2: Speed and Endurance)

My legs were not fresh today. It was just one of those days. I could hear a bit of chatter in my head. I needed to get out to the park pretty early for this run, since they were shutting down part of it early. Thus, I hate feeling rushed. Again, the temps were great.

I did an easy 5 mile AM run on the treadmill to start the day. It is easy for me to do part of my doubles on the mill because of proximity. Running in my neighborhood is tough. There are too many turns and a lot of traffic at times.

My PM run at the park was not as desired. I ran the first 3 miles at 7:31 per mile pace, before upping my run to 6:52 pace over the next 6 miles; I concluded this short tempo run with a 1 mile easy run at 7:32 pace.
